Even though I disagree with nearly all of his major policy ideas -- the horrible (un)Fair Tax, booting out all illegal immigrants in 120 days, sending military incursions into Pakistan to get Osama, amending the Constitution to prohibit gay marriage, etc., etc., -- I have found his humility, and yes, even his faith refreshing. I just heard him say tonight that he'd rather work with an honest atheist than a Christian-in-name-only. Huckabee talks about the environment, about making the country better not just for us but for those who come after us, and those are peretty radical ideas for the Republican party.

Honestly, I think he's the best communicator of all the candidates, and that surprises me.
